Hope you have plenty to nibble on at Xmas.    ;)    :)

Apparently Steph's offered to get her Jammy Dodgers out.  ;)

It wouldn't be Walpurgis without a tree from the greenwood being brought into the house to guarantee the arrival of Spring (plastic ones don't work). This one is a Fraser Fir (sourced locally so it is green and well as evergreen).

Me cooking the Christmas dinner, doing the washing up, and then someone asking 'what have we got to nibble on' and soft girl me saying 'what would you like?'

Finally sit down to watch the TV and finding Grandad has the remote control and is channel hopping....AAAAGGGG!!

Surely you're about 4 months ahead of us Colwyn ?

I'm about a century ahead of you KKOB, but if you read my post it is about guaranteeing the Spring - which is celebrated on ... Walpurgis Night. So, without people like me looking after you all, it wouldn't be Walpurgis.

Wrapping up a few presents on Christmas Eve whilst having a G.&.T. and watching my DVD of the original and best Scrooge (Alistair Sim).

Listening to the carols from Kings College Cambridge, with a large glass of wine, knowing all is wrapped, prepared and given out by Christmas Eve.  Meanwhile a very busy week ahead, 2 for lunch tomorrow, 5 on Thursday, 3 on Saturday, and 6 on Monday, run out of space in fridge and freezer, but will cope (I think!!)

Sitting in front of a cosy fire, feeling lovely and warm when it's a cold night outside.
